Radiator 12.5625in x 21.5in Drag LH

The Radiator 12.5625in x 21.5in Drag LH from AFCO Racing Products is a purpose-built cooling solution engineered for drag racing and high-performance street applications where thermal management directly impacts elapsed times and engine reliability. This left-hand configuration radiator is designed for builders and mechanics who demand precision cooling systems that fit tight engine bays without compromising airflow or heat rejection capacity. Whether you're tuning a dedicated quarter-mile competitor or a modified street car, this compact core delivers the thermal performance required to maintain consistent combustion temperatures under sustained high-load conditions.

AFCO Racing Products radiators are manufactured using aluminum construction with optimized core density to maximize heat transfer rates while minimizing weight—critical for drag racing applications where every pound affects acceleration and 60-foot times. The 12.5625-inch width and 21.5-inch height provide a compact footprint suitable for custom engine bay layouts, while the left-hand inlet/outlet configuration allows flexible plumbing routing around headers, intake manifolds, and other engine modifications. The 13-pound weight keeps parasitic mass low, and the robust construction withstands pressure cycling from high-RPM operation and aggressive cooling fan engagement typical in drag racing environments.

Drag racers, circle-track competitors, and serious street performance enthusiasts benefit from AFCO's racing-specific engineering when building or refreshing cooling systems on carbureted or fuel-injected engines. Installation requires proper mounting brackets, hose routing planning, and thermostat selection matched to your engine's operating envelope—consult your engine builder or tuner to confirm coolant capacity and flow requirements align with your specific application. The compact 16 x 6.5 x 33-inch shipping dimensions make transport manageable, though final fitment verification against your chassis and engine combination is essential before ordering.
